Drawing 3: squares

Drawing in Perspective Squares

As i continued to read the book it next talked about improving your drawing skills by using basic shapes to make larger and more detailed artwork "using the square, the circle, and the pyramid every object fits into these shapes" (6). I first attempted to use the square by drawing a cigarette box.

a cigarette box that I drew

According to Priscilla a few simple squares such as a package of cigarettes  put together becomes a group of buildings (7).

The cigarette box seen on the right can become a group of buildings.

After reading this section in my book

I understand how you can use different shapes to draw almost anything that you like also I learned that perspective is what gives you the ability to draw objects in in 3-D on a 2-D surface. so a question is what do you think that you would draw in perspective to look 3-D?
